The couple married in 2010 after eight years of dating and share three children.

Baron Cohen previously told The New York Times that he "knew instantly" that Fisher was the one after meeting her at a party in Sydney in 2001. "She was hilarious," he said. "We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party."
